It is inevitable that learning the jargon and basics of a new field will
be demanding. Yes, you will benefit enormously from a (knowledgeable)
guide.
May I suggest that you find a book (either from your local library or
book-store, or on-line) and/or choose an on-line training course
(edX.org, Coursera, etc).
Be aware that the generic term: "Python", now means "Python3", whereas
in the past we used "Python2" (both numbers often followed by a
decimal-point and further digits indicating a more precise version
number). Thus, check that your chosen 'guide' is up-to-date!
You will be welcome to verify your choice with us, and to ask further
questions 'here'...
Welcome to the wonderful world of Python!
